From Chris: This week we wrapped up our Element’s study on God’s Word. This final sermon was entitled “The Word And Us.†Its purpose was to help our students would understand that as Christ-followers, God’s Word must be at the center of our lives.

In studying Exodus 4 and 5 I find a lot of similarity between Moses and myself. I don't mean that I relate to his calling or that I have a pretty cool staff that can do some pretty cool things. I mean that I relate to his selective listening, his faintness of heart, and his "why me?" attitude.
